Fortran 90 on Itanium

We have just purchase 2 HP Integritys to upgrade from our Alphas.

We have found that the new Fortram 90 no longer will support a PARAMETER statement of the form PARAMETER c=1 (ie without the brackets). This is fine for our code, but for the include files from the system libraries it is not. Specifically the $IODEF include file from the SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]FORSYSDEF.TLB library. Apparently it still uses the PARAMETER statements of the old form, so will not compile.Is there a more up to date version of the library or some compiler switch that will allow the older form of the PARAMETER satement?

Something seems strange to me. The behavior I see on my VMS 8.2-1/FOR V8.0 and VMS 8.3/FOR8.1 is that /assume=altparam is the default. I suspect you've got something, somewhere, adding to or changing your compile line that you are un aware of. If it were me, I'd want to track that down to avoid other suprises or unintended consequences.
